In this Philips Respironics True Blue Nasal CPAP
Mask review we wanted to show you the complaints and strengths people have
shared with us about this sleep apnea mask

·Back Sleepers= works wonderful.

·Side Sleepers = it works well most of the time.

·Stomach Sleepers = I would not recommend. Too bulky. I haven’t had any stomach sleepers who liked this mask.

·Great For Nose Breathers

·Not good if you suffer from Allergies. Please use a CPAP full face mask.

·A lot of people are easily turned off when
looking at it initially. Please don’t judge it by its looks. It is a very good
Respironics CPAP Nasal Mask.

·Lousy if you are a mouth breather. Unless you use a CPAP Chin Strap with this Respironics sleep apnea mask. (To be truthful…. if you open your mouth, please consider using a full face CPAP mask.

·Moustache and Beards - good mask.

·This Philips Respironics True Blue Nasal CPAP
Mask Designed for the active CPAP user who moves around in bed a lot. That’s
why you have the accordion looking thing…(please see the video)

·Replaceable cushion. Make sure you specifically
request for the flap also.

·Per the manufacturer. …make the mask loosely fit
and the outer cushion flap will inflate around the nose & seal. The feedback I have received mirrors my experience…you
do have to tighten the headgear to get a good seal.

Forehead Cushions

·Forehead cushion – comfortable and it moves.
Problem is ….it comes off and you can easily loose it between the bed sheets.

·You cannot adjust the forehead cushion. So if
you have a long forehead or no forehead ….it may be uncomfortable.

· Large
Frame = Medium Wide and Large cushions (This is awesome. You can now
interchange some sizes. Save a lot of money and just change the cushions size
to get a good fit)

·So far (as of this posting 3/2013) … I
personally haven’t had anyone complain of being allergic to gel material.

·This is a very good alternative to ResMed Mirage
Activa CPAP Nasal Mask and the ResMed Soft Gel mask. (But it is not softer than
the Soft Gel)

·Smaller faces …..the mask will tend touch your upper
lip.

·The very few people who I have worked with that have
high CPAP pressures….around 17 cmH20 and up…….found it leaked a lot.

·Few people have complained of being bruised on
the bridge of the nose. The ones I
personally worked still liked the mask a lot just the bruising part was the
main issue. Quite often the issue is they have the wrong size.

·Please measure your nose. To be on the safe side.
It does seem to appear a bit on the small size. That’s why I recommend getting
the “Fit Pack”

·Get the “FIT
PACK” …. You will get a small & medium cushions (model #1071816) or you get the Medium Wide and Large
cushions (model# 1071817). Pay a
little bit more in the beginning and get
2 sizes. Because they run a little bit snug. Once you figure what size you like
then in the future you can save money and just get that size.

·Wash your face before using ….. it will help the mask establish a good seal on your face.
